Which Windows? Windows 10 and above have the key attached to your Microsoft account, so you shouldn't have any issues. I'm pretty sure they're free now anyways (in exchange for being spyware).
That's assuming you've ever logged into the account.
It isn't mandatory? Can I detach my account from an install that is already registered, or would they just make the association anyways with the hardware specs?
It's not mandatory, but they keep making it harder every update.
I'm not sure your registration would remain once you detach the account from your install, but I do think you can still detach it.
You unplug ethernet during the install to get the "limited setup", which just means without a microsoft account.
